Dear Java
Please! Give me back my old version Java 7 update 40!!!
The new version, update 45, causes a lot of trouble with the most used applications on my computer (Mac).
I can't use the official danish electronic ID-system. (i.e. can't do my banking etc.)
It's apparently a common problem in Denmark!
Best regards

come on java, your new update-45- is causing so many problems on pogo, it's ridiculous, FIX IT, why can't you work with pogo when the new ones come out, you know we need java but we don't need all these problems. Why are you refusing me to update to java7 update 40? It takes me to your new version.. I do not care for that update 45 right now. Please fix your issues, thank you..

I am using the muisca system for tax declaration in Colombia. I need the Java application for electronic signature. The www.dian.gov.co system tells me that my Mac is up to date and can use electronic signature but when performing the last step the system gives me following error message:
java.security.AccessControlException: access denied
"java.util.PropertyPermission"n2user.home" "read"
I have permitted the web-site to access my mac ....
I have version OS X 10.9
Thank
Dominique
